Wasted Words

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
        [A]Can you tell me, tell me, friend, just exactly where I've been

        Is that so  much to ask?  I'll pay you back no matter what the task

        [D]You seem really sure 'bout something I don't k[A]now,
        [D]take that load off, looks like chest's about to [A]go.

        [E]Your wasted words already been heard, [D]are you really God, yes or n[A]o?

        [A]Well, all day and half the night you're walkin' round lookin' such a fright.

        Is it me  or is it you? I'd make a wager and I'd hope you lose.

        [D]Time's gone, looks like Rome is 'bout to f[A]all,
        [D]next time take the elevator, please don't [A]crawl.

        [E]Your wasted words so absurd, [D]are you really Satan, yes or [A]no?

        Well, I ain't no saint and you sure as hell ain't no savior,

        every other Christman I would practice good behavior.

        That was then, this is now, don't ask me to be mister clean,

        'cause baby, I don't know how.

        [D]Ring my phone 'bout ten more times, we will s[A]ee,
        [D]find that broke down line and let it [D]be.

        [E]Your wasted words wiill never be heard, [D]go on home baby and watch it on[A] TV.
        [E]Weekday soap-box speciality, [D]you know what I'm talkin' 'bout n[A]ow,
        [E]by the way, this song's for you, [D]sincerely, [A]me.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
